This is how people are, when you are ready to have a big argument with the other party, the other party will reason with you, and you still feel that what the other party says does make sense.
My original intention was shaken, I didn't know who to target with the energy in my heart, and I felt indescribably uncomfortable.
Zhang Fengxia went upstairs to call Jiang Xiaoyan and wanted to discuss the matter. Judging from the series of information Su Yourong gave, it was basically impossible to completely separate this person. In terms of business, she had already
Lu Feng was tied up to death. He had a child in his family and it was difficult to separate him.
Lu Feng is still in the factory. Today is the second day of sales. The entire factory is in full production capacity. Zhu Lidong, Du Guoying, and Liucheng are all present to deal with product problems, sales problems, freight problems, and after-sales problems in a centralized manner.
one time.
All after-sales services are set up in the capital cities of each province. The products have been put on sale, but two after-sales agents have not yet been set up. Because the prices for purchasing goods are different, the dealers in these two places are getting angry.
"They are just asking for the goods at a price of two thousand three hundred and fifty? Is it interesting to block us at this time?" Lu Feng looked at Zhu Lidong with a gloomy expression and said: "If you don't get used to these problems, you can just call and tell us
If they don't provide after-sales service, the dealer's contract will be canceled directly and they will be recruited from the market."
"Now is a critical time, I'm afraid it will affect sales!" Zhu Lidong was a little confused.
"These dealers are all connected privately. If we take a step back, they will all join forces to lower the price!" Lu Feng lit a pipe: "Are you going to join forces with me and let us share the profits? It's too late now.
, starting next year, if I don’t establish a direct sales system, I will go downhill!”
When Zhu Lidong saw that Lu Feng had made up his mind, he immediately asked the vice president next to him to make a call. Nowadays, there are many cases of dealers joining forces to suppress manufacturers. These dealers have become middlemen, eating up consumers and eating up manufacturers.
"It's getting late. Let's go back after finishing this matter. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Lu Feng said slightly tiredly.
At one o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng returned home. Duoduo was already asleep. Jiang Xiaoyan was lying on the bed without the slightest hint of tiredness. After washing up, Lu Feng returned to the bed, looked at her eyes as bright as light bulbs, and said: "Still not asleep yet."
?You should pay more attention to Duoduo recently. This child has completely entered puberty recently and seems a bit twisted."
"I noticed that the teacher also called me twice and said that I was quarreling with people at school and my personality has changed in the past six months. I said that at home I was still childish and acted like a child." Jiang Xiaoyan took a deep breath.
He said in one breath: "You go to sleep, I can't sleep. How are the sales of mobile phones?"
"Forget it, there are two dealers who are messing with me. We have just dealt with it. We cannot completely rely on dealers for channels. We must have our own direct sales channels. This is what we will focus on next year." Lu Feng said about the company's affairs.
After chattering for a while, Jiang Xiaoyan found that Jiang Xiaoyan was silent.
"What's wrong?" Lu Feng reached out and hugged her over, asking: "Why are you unhappy? Duoduo made you angry?"
"No!"
"Is it still a child problem? Go to the United States after the New Year and have a look there. Didn't I tell you before that your problem is not a big one and you have cultivated yourself well in the past two years." Lu Feng comforted.
"That's not what happened."
"Don't make me guess, I'm tired enough this day." Lu Feng sat up and looked at her and said, "Then I'll work overtime and we'll have a great time!"
"That's not it!" Jiang Xiaoyan said with a faint sigh.
"I knew it was this when I heard your voice. After so many years, no one knows who!"
At half past two, Lu Feng had already fallen asleep. Jiang Xiaoyan was lying aside, still unable to sleep. She quite agreed with what Su Yourong said, but Jiang Xiaoyan was unwilling to let her into this home.
The two of them originally thought that Su Yourong would be their rival. Who would have thought that Su Yourong was positioning himself as a helper. In fact, Jiang Xiaoyan was not that awkward about Su Yourong coming in. She was herding a sheep and herding a group of sheep.
Zhang Fengxia was very rude to Su Yourong on the phone. She believed that Su Yourong would never be allowed to succeed, but the two of them had no specific countermeasures. The only confidence they had now was that Lu Feng agreed not to let Su Yourong enter the house.
, but what about in a few years?
Jiang Xiaoyan wants to have a child of her own more and more. She went to the hospital in Beijing more than a month ago for a check-up. The doctor thought she was recovering well, but if she wanted to have a child safely, it was recommended to go there.
In the United States, take good care of it before asking for it.
December passed by in a flash, and the small turmoil among the dealers aroused a lot of public opinion in the industry. Even if the last two dealers relented, Lu Feng still did not hesitate to replace them.
1998 has passed. This year has passed so fast that people have no time to react. Lu Feng feels that he has not done much. He has been busy fighting floods throughout the summer. He then held meetings on his mobile phone one after another, from styling design to internal motherboards.
Lu Feng is basically involved in the entire process of supplier procurement, dealers, etc.
During this period, we also need to pay attention to the semiconductor industry. This year, Hurricane Capital has become one of the world's top leaders in wafers, and international pressure has become smaller. The cooperation with AMD has attracted the attention of many manufacturers. Breakthroughs in more than a dozen core patents in research and development, various types of
The product has officially completed iteration, and four batches have been delivered through centralized procurement.
In the last month, good news came from Giti mobile phones. In the first month of its launch, under the bombardment of advertisements, sales exceeded 100,000 units in a single month. Banners were hung up in all major sales stores to promote it.
.
At the same time, some manufacturers are using various methods in private, attacking and smearing, asking their employees to buy them, using unstable current to destroy the motherboard and then asking for after-sales service. There are even people who pry open the store at night and pierce the speakers and earpieces with needles.
It's just that Lu Feng no longer needs to deal with this kind of competition.
Throughout December, mobile phone manufacturers were bombarded with advertisements. At the same time, any problems with Giti mobile phones would be caught and amplified by rivals, followed by headlines. Dealing with these emergencies was enough to keep Zhu Lidong busy.
Du Guoying frequently participated in various activities to promote Giti mobile phones, while Lu Feng no longer appeared, and the two of them were solely responsible for promoting Giti mobile phones.
In mid-January, Lu Feng went to Tianjin for a meeting, mainly to discuss the semiconductor research and development and sales situation in 1999. This time, basically everyone was present and inspected the factory for a day. Lu Feng also briefly looked at various iterative products.
Compared to many years ago, the progress has been huge.
At the meeting, Lu Feng set R&D expenses at US$130 million. According to Hurricane Capital's overall profitability, the gap this year will not be too large. In addition to catching up in cutting-edge industries, these expenses include various types of chips.
Development, at the end of this year, Hurricane Semiconductor has reached a cooperation with China Unicom and China Telecom, and will produce 2G mobile phone cards for the two companies.
Compared with chips and storage products this year, the best-selling products were panels, accounting for 35% of profits. The core chip business accounted for less than 7% of total profits.
"Last year was an important year for Hurricane Semiconductor. This year we ended our losses, all products were iterated, and we have caught up with the world's best in processors, storage, communications, digital decoding, wafers and other products.
,At the same time, we have cooperated with many ,global companies and established talent transfer plans with 25 domestic ,universities.”
“We have 11 R&D centers around the world, the number of R&D personnel has officially exceeded 5,000, and we have reached cooperation with many overseas manufacturers. This year’s progress is due to the continuous accumulation in the past, and I hope that everyone will continue to work hard in the new year.
, LCD screens will be put on sale this year, and various products will continue to advance. We hope that during this year, our net profits can completely cover our research and development expenses."
There was a round of applause.
At the meeting, Lu Feng also requested to work hard to promote the joint R&D center with Sharp and Rohm, striving to launch it this year, and set goals for major projects.
After so many years of hard work, Hurricane Semiconductor has finally matured slowly. Looking at the thick year-end report in front of him, Lu Feng felt quite pleased. The current Hurricane Semiconductor has the capabilities of independent design, independent research and development, and independent manufacturing. These
The capabilities are not possessed by any domestic manufacturer.
And most of them are self-developed patents. If it is said that the domestic chips can be stuck in the market in many years, it will only be software and hardware such as EDA and lithography machines.
However, when Lu Feng held a meeting in Beijing last year, he mentioned the support of chip design software development, circuit design software, photolithography machines, etching machines and other related companies.
After the meeting, Zhang Rujing found Lu Feng and asked, "Mr. Lu, is this year's R&D budget for wafers too small?"
"Currently, the eight-inch has just been put into mass production. The company's funds are really tight. Let's consolidate the eight-inch first." Lu Feng replied. After speaking, he looked at him and understood what he was thinking.
"Twelve-inch wafers are what all companies are chasing. We have finally caught up, so we cannot relax. I also understand the company's financial situation." He sat down and seemed a little hesitant.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't mean that I must put the interests of the company first, but also the interests of the industry." Lu Feng had heard Liucheng say before that when he went to meetings, he would give advice to the leaders and establish
Large semiconductor funds, state-led investment, and hope for industry classification.
To prevent one company from doing all the work, firstly, it is a monopoly problem, and secondly, after the industry division of labor is clear, it is more conducive to overall development. Semiconductor is an industry with division of labor and cooperation.
"I want to leave Hurricane and become a company that specializes in wafer manufacturing, and do a good job in cultivating the industry. Such companies can also support Hurricane Semiconductor." Mr. Zhang said frankly.
Lu Feng nodded and said: "I support you. If there is a need for funds, I can personally invest. By the way, I will give you a name. Let's call it SMIC."
"This name is very good!" he said with a little surprise.
